+ ## $0 execution plan
+
+ ### Week 1: positioning and first list
+
+ - Compare the top three alternatives' earliest, beta and current messaging; write one benefit-led sentence for your product.
+ - Build a 200-person prospect sheet from competitor followers, LinkedIn keyword/job-title searches, Reddit/X intent conversations and relevant service marketplaces.
+ - Define one activation event and one retained-use event before posting.
+
+ ### Week 2: conversations, not broadcasting
+
+ - Send personalized outreach in small batches; record source, segment, reply, interview, activation and paid outcome.
+ - Conduct screen-share interviews; let users speak most of the time and ask what they already pay for.
+ - Reply to live intent in communities with a useful answer first. Disclose affiliation; do not impersonate a user or paste identical promotional copy.
+
+ ### Week 3: reusable proof asset
+
+ - Turn the most repeated problem into one comparison page, tutorial, demo or case note.
+ - Distribute channel-native excerpts and close every link back to the same measurable activation path.
+
+ ### Week 4: keep, fix or kill
+
+ Keep a channel only if it creates activated/retained users, not just visits. If acquisition works but activation does not, pause distribution and fix the product. Publish a cohort table: `source → contacted → replies → interviews → signups → activated → retained → paid`.
